FRIENDLY IMMIGRATION LAWYER

It was hard to find an affordable, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable attorney to represent my immigration case. I spoke to many attorneys and was not satisfied. However, after talking to attorney Anthony Marcus, I immediately observed his friendly personality and the way he understands my situation.... I hired him to petition for my spouse’s green card. He came to our house to explain the process and exhibited a confident knowledge of the Immigration law. The case was filed in December of 2018. At the end of May 2019, we got a request for clarification for my spouse’s birth certificate. Mr. Marcus explained why they needed that and asked for new original documents. After we gathered the materials, Mr. Marcus prepared a letter and sent it to the Immigration office. Within three months, my spouse’s work authorization was approved, and we received a letter scheduling the green card interview. Prior to the interview, Mr. Marcus met with us three times and rehearsed with us a mock interview twice. On the day of the interview, he came with us and explained the steps and communicated with the office during the interview. After a brief 20-minute interview, the officer asked us to wait outside in order to clear a small lapse of time in my spouse’s visa (he was as a student three months prior, when his F1 visa ended). Mr. Marcus explained why the officer needed approval from his supervisor. While we were waiting Mr. Marcus confidently told my spouse “congratulation on your green card!” That was even before the officer invited us back in and gave us the Green Card approval letter. I will always rely on the outstanding legal help of Anthony Marcus if needed in the future.

Great Lawyer!

EXTRAORDINARY IMMIGRATION LAWYER: It was hard to find an affordable, honest, and knowledgeable attorney to represent my immigration case. However, after talking to attorney Anthony Marcus, I immediately observed his friendly personality and the way he understands my situation. He was very kind to gi...ve me an affordable payment plan without any interest. He met with me many times to gather information and documents that are required to file my case. He spent hours to explain to me many of the issues essential to my case. I truly felt that money is not an issue for this honest attorney. He always put my interest first and devoted time beyond the usual to help me feel safe during the process. He was very accommodating and generous to answer all my phone calls and also assisted me with other legal issues free of charge, just because. Thank you, Mr. Marcus, for your help and diligent legal work that led to the success of my immigration case. I will always rely on your outstanding legal help if needed in the future.

Best Attorney Ever

I have been in the country for 30 years without any legal documents except the DACA status. I got married and my attorney, Anthony Marcus petitioned for me through my spouse. The application got approved, then, Mr. Marcus applied for my adjustment of status. After 7 months, we received a letter stati...ng that the adjustment of status and all other applications associated with it are suspended. That means I cannot obtain my travel documents to legally reenter the United States to complete the adjustment of status requirements. I was in distress over this, however, Mr. Marcus applied for an emergency advance parole to leave and reenter the United States. He made an emergency appointment within two days of his phone call to the USCIS. We went to the local USCIS Field Center, we pled my case with the immigration officer, the officer sent us to make a biometric and come back with an hour and half to receive the travel document. WOW, I cannot believe it, I will be able to leave to Mexico and come back to receive my Green Card. Thanks to my attorney for his diligent full-heated work with me!

BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY

BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY: After a long history and severe religious persecution and torture in my homeland, I came to the United States to seek refuge. I searched for an honest experience attorney to represent my case with the Office of Asylum. Through a friend, I found attorney Anthony Marcus. We ...met with him for consultation and within half an hour, we can see his knowledge and ethical demeanor, we then hired him for our case. He was very helpful and assisted us in filling the application, gathering the documents needed. He answered our phone call without a delay when we called him and also updated us with the progress of the case. Within six months we got our asylum interview. He prepared us by creating a list of questions based on the facts of our case. He trained us on how to answer. Our preparation was comprehensive and to the point. This was proven when we attended the interview; the officer asked us the questions that Mr. Marcus trained us to answer. Not only that but after the officer finished the interview, Mr. Marcus asked me a series of questions in conclusion of the interview and give his closing statement that summarized the important points in our case. Within two weeks our case was approved. Thanks to Mr. Marcus we are protected and will stay indefinitely in the United States.

People v. Hernandez

I hired attorney Anthony Marcus to represent me in three cases of driving with suspended license. I find him very accommodating and affordable in comparison to other attorneys who asked for three times of what Mr. Marcus charge me. On top of that, he gave me a good and flexible payment plan. The DA d...emanded that I pay fine, do community labor, and be on probation for one year, but Mr. Marcus negotiated a deal on the cases to reduce my a misdemeanor to just an infraction and minimum fine to pay. He always communicated with me when I called or texted him. He was a good cheer and simply explained the issues of my case. I am really impressed by his knowledge of the criminal law. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in this area.
